Postmodern Climate Change

The author takes us on a lengthy tour of the international politics behind attempting any type of governance of global climate changes. Many international meetings and bodies have been and are involved. Prominent amongst these is the Kyoto Protocol. Which the US has largely chosen to opt out of. But earlier work by the Club of Rome in the 1970s is also mentioned. The latter was clearly ahead of its time. Its warnings were successfully ignored, and perhaps correctly so, for some 30 years.



An interesting analysis is offered of a conflict within capitalist societies, regarding climate change and what to do. On one side are the fossil fuel industries, that produce much of the excess carbon and carbon dioxide. But increasingly arrayed against these are the insurance, nuclear power and renewable energy industries. That either see massive future costs from global warming, or offer a means of reducing those changes.
